In order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. Not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. You cannot grow if you keep pretending you're innocent in the story you've created.

Yes, the software is called LG OnScreen Control Plus. it runs silently in the background. it tracks which applications you use, when you use them, and how long. it phones home to LG servers. it cannot be uninstalled through normal means without leaving registry traces.

gamers noticed because some anti-cheat systems flagged it as suspicious software. the monitor was getting people banned from games.

now the TV side:

LG also updated its webOS terms of service. if you use the AI voice features on your LG TV, the company says you may need to inform guests in your home that conversations could be recorded.

not LG informing your guests.

you. the homeowner. legally responsible for notifying anyone who walks into your living room that the television is listening.

LG built a surveillance device. sold it to you. and made the disclosure your legal problem.

so to recap what LG shipped this year:

a monitor that installs tracking software on your PC without asking.

a TV that records conversations in your home and requires you to warn your guests.

both devices look exactly like a monitor and a TV.

neither one tells you what it actually is at the point of sale.

you found out when your game banned you.

or when you read the terms.

Another cross border payment solution is exiting the Kenyan market.

We probably have sharp boys to thank for this.

Alain de Botton, what a line

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

You don’t need to be cold. Just inaccessible. Respond slower. Reveal less. Be polite, but unreadable. When people have to guess how you feel, they start treating you like someone they can’t afford to miscalculate. That’s how distance breeds influence.
